Limit Ad Tracking Bug

This is just an advisory to let users know that thier Privacy preferences may not be what they think, or how they left them.

Limit Ad Tracking is switching itself OFF for some users and the only way stop this from happening is to sign out of the device you are using.

'Limit Ad Tracking' is tied to your Apple ID and functions as follows.

1) If you are signed in with an Apple ID:

The 'Limit Ad Tracking' toggle is subject to the Apple ID advertising platform preference, and not the device you are using. Restrictions cannot override this. For example, if you toggle ON 'Limit Ad Tracking' then activate Restrictions for Advertising, the 'Limit Ad Tracking' toggle will become faded but still visible as green (ON). Now if the 'Limit Ad Tracking' advertising platform preference that is tied to your Apple ID is set to OFF, then when you exit Settings and relaunch Settings you will see the toggle has changed despite being Restricted (only if you are experiencing the bug). The key here is the spinning wheel on the toggle when you relaunch Settings, this indicates communication with the Apple Advertising Platform is taking place, and Settings is requesting information on the advertising platform preference tied to the Apple ID for 'Limit Ad Tracking'.

2) If you are NOT signed in with an Apple ID:

Or if you are signed in but then sign out, the toggle is subject to the Device setting. Restrictions will then be obeyed until you sign in with an Apple ID, at which point the Apple ID advertising platform preference for 'Limit Ad Tracking' becomes master again.

"If you chose to enable Limit Ad Tracking, Apple’s advertising platform will opt your Apple ID out of receiving ads targeted to your interests regardless of what device you are using."
